Currently in a great place, well balanced, pure and precise with warm gravel and earthy, delicate red berry silky texture - superb — 8 years ago
Surprisingly youthful nose of luscious rich plummy baked dark red fruits and the most etheral sous bois and pipe tobacco I've ever smelled. The palate had poise and grace in its age, everything was in fantastic balance. The tannins are shockingly fine, adding the structure that is necessary to hold everything together. Simply superb. I can only hope I show as well as this when I'm nearly 65! — 8 years ago
Just superb. Amazing nose, delicate yet firm. — 9 years ago
2013. Superb. Was expecting infanticide and discovered a prodigy. Lighter side of Syrah, perfectly delineated after 1 hr decant. Feminine, lithe lens on allspice, lavender, bacon fat. Swathe of fine tannins. This will evolve for decades, so nicely structured, but worth trying now. As good as the pricier VV I tried last year. — 9 years ago
Kudos to the boys for all calling it CdP, GV even nailed it a Pegau blind. Bramble, tar and hint of garrigue. Rich, distinctive nose. Amazingly still coming together after 3 hr decant, the pieces all there: beef blood, earth, peppery spice, pipe tobacco. Big tannins on the precipice of melting down and perfectly melding it all together. Just a few years before this passes superb on its way to profound. — 10 years ago
Superb and otherworldly, notes more like white port than white (or orange) wine, even with faint notes of cork taint — 10 years ago

Superb from start to finish. Robust nose of dark cherry, tobacco and earth. Taste is amazing. Dances on your tongues tip..meanders to the center of your tongue with all the body one can endure....and finishes with you longing for more...whew...I think i need a smoke after that! — 10 years ago
I owned a case of this and consumed most of it way too early. The last couple of bottles were perfectly aged and this was a superb Bordeaux. — 10 years ago

2006 vintage. At Au Fil du Zinc, Chablis. Pale garnet hue. Savoury, Earth and manure nose, red currant and wild strawberry, red cherry. On the palate, medium acidity, medium body, medium plus alcohol. Full concentration. Long long finish. Licorice, mint, savoury spices, the whole shebang. More evolved than the '05. Superb. — 9 years ago

Amazing wine again. Loved it. For a 3rd growth not in an exceptional year it was superb. I see why Palmer is seen as a powerhouse and should really be promoted in growth. Yummy. — 7 years ago
